I read an article in a trashy free daily commuter paper ("mX"*, probably not available online) which described how [[David Beckham]] had apparently been replaced with the word TWAT. The article cited an interview with a computer security expert of some kind who said Wikipedia's servers might have been "hijacked", and it was surprising that we didn't have any kind of "protection". Supposedly "Wikipedia did not return mX's call."
Wait for the atmospheric idiocy level to die down, I expect.
